Vivo released the V70, its latest addition to its affordable mid-range camera phone offering. The Chinese tech company has produced some impressively featured devices that feature Zeiss-backed cameras and are equipped with features that you normally see on pricier models.
The 50MP main unit is backed by a large 1/1.56″ sensor and supported with OIS. There’s a 50MP telephoto camera backed by a 1/1.95‑inch ultra-sensing sensor that delivers better low light performance, while thanks to the optical image stabilisation (OIS) you can get sharp shots even at higher zoom levels. It covers a 3x optical zoom range, and can be extended up to 10x digitally with the help of the AI Image Enhancement Algorithm. The Vivo V60 proved to be a solid performer for portraits using the telephoto lens for the 85mm and 100mm options, and creating a natural and flattering look.
The ultra-wide camera has a more modest 8MP resolution, while on the front there’s another 50MP unit for group selfies, and surprisingly, it features autofocus – quite a rarity at this price point. And they don’t just stand out for stills, but usually have a decent video performance too, so the V70 features 4K 60p video and benefits from an AI Audio Noise Eraser too.
With a 6.59in 120Hz OLED display and 1.5K resolution, you can expect smooth visuals and comfortable handling. A new design debuts with the V70 that’s not just stylish but also durable thanks to the aerospace-grade aluminium alloy frame, and glass back. With a 6500mAh battery that supports 90W fast charging to top off its spec list, the Vivo V70 punches well-above its price range.
Vivo starts rolling out the V70 in Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East from today, but official prices are not confirmed for the UK yet. Unfortunately, for US customers, Vivo is not available. The V60 retails for around £350 in the UK, so we can expect the V70 to be around this mark too, which is a real bargain for a feature set that’s normally reserved for pricier cameraphones.
